Kasich to speak at Lake County Republican Party Lincoln Day Dinner

Gov. John Kasich will appear in Lake County on April 3 to serve as the keynote speaker for the Lake County Republican Party Lincoln Day Dinner.

The event will be at the American Croatian Lodge in Eastlake.

Lake County Republican Party Chairman Dale Fellows said it will be the third time Kasich has served as the annual event's keynote speaker, but it marks his first as governor.

"We're very excited about having the governor here in Lake County," Fellows said.

"It's great timing. The budget discussion should be pretty much in full swing by then."

Fellows said Kasich's popularity has increased during his term as one recent poll showed the governor's job approval rating now at 53 percent favorable compared to 32 percent against.

"His popularity has hit an all-time high in the polls," Fellows said. "Rightly so, he's turning Ohio around. We're on the right path now, contrary to some others' positions and compared to the rest of the country."

The party's Lincoln Day Dinner events have recently featured some high-profile speakers.

Last year, the Lincoln Day Dinner event's featured speaker was former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, a Republican Party presidential candidate in 2012.

Tickets for the event range in price from $50 for dinner only to $1,000, which includes two VIP tickets to all Lake GOP 2013 events.

Tables for the Lincoln Day Dinner will only be reserved for pre-paid parties of eight and VIPs.

All other seating will be open.
